Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home abuse is a serious problem in Tennessee and Kentucky. If you could see what some of our nursing home abuse clients have endured, you would be shocked and appalled. These people are your neighbors, and some of them were in homes where your loved ones will some day reside. Most of the time those who reside in nursing homes are unable to communicate instances of abuse or neglect because of physical or mental disabilities or because they have no one to tell. These cases can be very serious, causing significant health problems and even death. Worst of all, problems seem to multiply until someone finally stands up to the nursing home.
Nursing home abuse is commonly found in:
- Failing to provide adequate food or water
- Failing to provide appropriate hygienic care
- Overmedicating
- Using physical restraints unnecessarily
- Dropping residents or
- Mentally, physically or sexually abusing residents
